Dave's deep interest in writing music for film has led to numerous commissions to write for short
films and many commercial projects. Dave's approach to composition is very visual, cinematic and
evocative and it is perhaps his sensitivity to evoke mood and atmosphere, often with adventurous use
of harmony and textures that film makers and producers have picked up on. IONA's music is used
regularly by TV and Film producers as an evocative backdrop on their productions.
